No, don’t get distracted by this. Musk has contracts, destroyed programs, funding, peoples lives, and took our data. Dump the popcorn and figure out what you are going to do.

There are those of us who do not have democrats as leaders at all. We know our calls will not be taken seriously, but we still call and write. You are a democrat and all you can do is announce a Substack?! Your constituents need more! We all need more! Do MORE!

That measure just passed, with all House Republicans except Massie and Arrington voting aye. House Republicans are preemptively surrendering Congress' authority to revoke Trump's tariffs. They know about the economic risks here, and they know exactly what they are doing. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Republicans just snuck a provision surrendering power to revoke Trump's tariffs into a procedural vote. All Dems opposed. Every Republican who voted for this will own the economic consequences of expanding Trump's tariff powers. Statement with @repdelbene.bsky.social:

Beyer And DelBene Blast Republicans’ Hidden Tariff Provision Washington, March 11, 2025 U.S. Representatives Don Beyer (D-VA) and Suzan DelBene (D-WA), who serve on the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade, today issued a joint statement on a House vote on a provision hidden in a Republican rule that would effectively surrender congressional power over raising taxes and tariffs on the American people to Trump. The vote comes on a day when Trump announced huge new tariffs on one of America’s closest allies, amid widening economic damage from his chaotic trade policy. Beyer and DelBene said: “Every House Republican who votes for this measure is voting to give Trump expanded powers to raise taxes on American households through tariffs with full knowledge of how he is using those powers, and every Republican will own the economic consequences of that vote. It speaks volumes that Republicans are sneaking this provision into a procedural measure hidden from the American people. “Today Trump is further endangering the U.S. economy and hiking prices on the American people by increasing his destructive and pointless tariffs on Canada. There can be no doubt about how he will use the power Republicans are about to give him, and about the disastrous economic effects we have already seen from Trump’s tariffs. While he babbles about making Canada the 51st state, your groceries and housing are getting more expensive and your retirement accounts are getting crushed- and House Republicans are supporting him every step of the way. “The Constitution delegates authority setting tariffs, which are taxes, to Congress, and Congress retains the power to stop Trump from wrecking our economy. Yet House Republicans are choosing to surrender the power of their own votes to a reckless president, putting politics over the country and their constituents. We will continue urging our colleagues to come to their senses and save our economy from Trump’s tariff chaos.”
